It's the difference between two files encoded in some format. Several types
of diff are used - context, unified, etc. Try "man diff" or "info diff" for
more info.

For example, if you want to get the difference between file 1 and 2, you
would say:

diff -u oldfile newfile

Diffs are mostly used for development purposes.

Hope this helps.
